?How do I know if I'm a resident or non-resident for tax purposes?

The issue of residency in Australia can be complicated and it’s vital to get your residency status correct when you’re filing for your Australian tax refund.

Regardless of your visa type (e.g. Working Holiday Maker visa, student visa, 457 Sponsorship visa etc.), you are generally deemed a resident for tax purposes in Oz if you show you’ve been living and working in the same location for a period of more than 6 months (183 days to be exact!).

We’ll figure out your tax residency for you; that’s why we include a short residency questionnaire in our taxpack.

?Residency status

Your residency status for tax purposes is important because it helps determine your liability to pay Australian income tax.

If you're an Australian resident for tax purposes, you:

Are entitled to the tax-free threshold

Can claim tax offsets

Generally have lower tax rates than a foreign resident

Typically, you’ll be considered a resident for tax purposes if you stayed more than 183 days in Australia and showed residential behaviour. Based on your answers to our residency questionnaire we’ll be able to evaluate your tax residency status.
